[lug] Sharing of CD ROM...

[Mr Viggy]

That's exactly what I did.  I shared out my "/mnt/cdrom" directory; then 
mounted the CD right there.

I was thinking that perhaps that NFS was sharing the actual directory, 
not what was mounted there, so I changed the share to be just "/mnt". 
That didn't work either.

Yeah, I tried sharing "/dev/cdrom", but 'exportfs' complained that this 
was not a folder, but a device and it couldn't share it out...
